Abstract

An embodiment is a device including a first fin extending from a substrate, a first gate stack over and along sidewalls of the first fin, a first gate spacer disposed along a sidewall of the first gate stack, and a first source/drain region in the first fin and adjacent the first gate spacer. The first source/drain region including a first insulator layer on the first fin, and a first epitaxial layer on the first insulator layer.
